Template and Link button * Resolved *

[MarkusJ_NZ]

Hi all, I have a datalist that I use in conjunction with a template to display records retrieved from a database. Datalist is databound to a dataset

What I would like to be able to do is add in a link button to each record in the template that when clicked captures the associated description of the record.

Below is my code for displaying just the description field in the dataset

<ItemTemplate>
 <span class="header">Description</span><br>
<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>
 </ItemTemplate>

I realise that I can add in a link button to the template like so

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkMe" Runat="server">Add me</asp:LinkButton>

How can I utilise the above link button to store the associated description in a collection when a user clicks on a records link button?

I would prefer to do it in code-behind in my index.aspx.vb page

Thanks in advance
MarkusJ

<asp:LinkButton ID="lnkMe" Runat="server" commandname="cmdName" commandargument='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "Description")%>'>Add me</asp:LinkButton>

Hi, thanks for the information, I was trying to focus on individual link buttons instead of relying on event bubbling via the Datagrid.

Thanks again
